The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black holes by ...

A SUBATOMIC particle is a particle that composes an atom. Everything in the universe is made of atoms, microscopic pieces of matter. Atoms are incredibly tiny and are difficult to see even under a ...

The Large Hadron Collider is the world's biggest machine, built to detect the smallest subatomic particles. On Tuesday, the super-collider, located near Geneva, made history when it recreated in ...

Wang Yifang, project manager of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory and director of the Institute of High Energy Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, speaks at the observatory in ...

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

The confirmed existence of a new particle – the pentaquark – made by CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) could offer answers into how the matter that makes up everything is constituted. It’s been 51 ...

Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...
